Aviation Agencies have been enjoined to initiate quality control procedures to strengthen controls over Jet A1. Saleh Dunoma, managing director of the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, stated this during his keynote address at the 2015 Annual public lecture organised by the Aeronautical Division of the Nigerian Society of Engineers, NSE. He commended the engineers for contributing positively to the development of the Aviation sector.

Dunoma advocated strict adherence to the Public Procurement Act so as to safeguard the integrity of the profession. An engineer himself, Dunoma commended the organisers for picking a relevant topic that has stimulated robust debate by the participants.

Emeka Ezeh, director general of Bureau of Public Procurement, BPP, and guest speaker at the occasion, spoke on the topic: “Procurement; Avoiding and Navigating through the Iceberg.” Ezeh who was represented by a Director from the Bureau implored strict adherence to provisions in the Public Procurement Act. He charged Engineers to checkmate corrupt tendencies that could hamper the integrity of the process.

Earlier in their separate remarks, Adelusi Adeluyi, chairman of the occasion, Ademola Olurunfemi and John Obakpolor, the hosts, all tasked engineers to live up to the ethics of the profession.

The one-day event was rounded up with presentation of awards and goodwill messages. Dunoma was later presented with an award.
